IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
United States Court of Appeals
Fifth Circuit
No. 13-40725 FILED
Summary Calendar July 3, 2014
Lyle W. Cayce
Clerk
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
EDWIN IDONIS MARTINEZ-LOPEZ, also known as Edwin Idonis Manueles-
Valledares,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:13-CR-12-1
Before DeMOSS, OWEN, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
Edwin Idonis Martinez-Lopez appeals his guilty plea conviction for being
an alien unlawfully found in the United States after deportation. He argues
for the first time on appeal that counsel was ineffective at sentencing.
Although Martinez-Lopez’s plea agreement contained an appeal waiver
provision, we are unable to determine whether he knowingly and voluntarily
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

No. 13-40725
waived his appellate rights because the record on appeal does not contain the
rearraignment transcript. We pretermit consideration of the effect of the
appeal waiver in this case because we would not reach the merits of the
ineffective assistance claim in any event as the record is not sufficiently
developed to allow us to evaluate counsel’s actions. See United States v. Story,
439 F.3d 226, 230-31 (5th Cir. 2006); see also United States v. Cantwell,
470
F.3d 1087, 1091 (5th Cir. 2006).
Martinez-Lopez also argues that there is a clerical error in the judgment
because it references both 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b)(1). See FED. R. CRIM.
P. 36. There is no error as Martinez-Lopez was indicted for and in fact pleaded
guilty to violating § 1326(a) and (b)(1).
AFFIRMED.
